well i mean

farange is kind of the british equivalent of trump?

or would that be boris johnson
Boris isn't dangerous, he's not a racist, he's not a bad man, he's just a mere buffoon. Everyone thought the buffoonery was a cover-up for something more intelligent and sinister, but this turned out not to be the case after Gove royally did him over.

Farage on the other hand is dangerous, is racist, isn't a particularly nice chap, and is very much in line with Trump's ideology but with less money and power.
 
Isn't Hilary a racist, didn't she support/have ties to some organisation that opposed the civil rights movement of the 60s. Not 100% but sure i heard this somewhere.

If Boris were racist, we'd have big trouble. He's far smarter than he lets on - his schtick is completely deliberate.
Luckily the only horrific cause he backs is his own career.

I remember a documentary about that. Local citizens were losing legally owned land to Trump's course expansion, with the police, of course, siding with the billionaire over the commoners who decided they didn't want to move.

Deliberate or not, his schtick is often misjudged, doesn't do him any favours and often reminds me of idiots who used to mess around at the back of class back in my school days. He doesn't help himself at all, not anymore. He may hold a lot of information in that brain and speak fluently in half a dozen languages, but he severely lacks tact, foresight and common sense even underneath his schtick.

1) yes he is, the buffoon act is not totally an act
2) racist. He kinda is.

If Boris and Farage were a gay couple, and men could conceive a baby, then Trump would be the result.

That is what my nightmares tell me.

It would be awesome if we could express our distaste for racism without resorting to misogyny.

Maybe it is a British thing but using the word cunt is largely seen as a gender neutral insult here. Quite often reserved for awful politicians, who are largely male thanks to our terribly represented cabinets.

Unless of course you are Scotland. 50/50 gender balance for the win.
 
Also a term of endearment. And it can be a verb.

Well I'd say that is largely Scotland LOL. However we seem to be rather good at using insults and coarse language as a way to greet each other... Not sure if proud or just accepting of us being rude bastards lol.

"Awrite ya cunt how ye doin?"

The English, Welsh and Irish tend to be a lot more polite and well spoken. The English stereotypically posh. I guess the Irish are a bit like us. It seems once you mix being drunk all the time with friendship you get the insult compliment phenomena.

Some insulting terminology really is reserved to describe the worst people though. Like Trump... and Farage. They are past the point of civil disagreement and into the realms of people that deserve to be mocked.

Boris Johnson got diet racism on point tho on a couple of occasions.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/...-at-running-the-Congo-let-him-stay-there.html
"It is said that the Queen has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies"

"They say he is shortly off to the Congo. No doubt the AK47s will fall silent, and the pangas will stop their hacking of human flesh, and the tribal warriors will all break out in watermelon smiles to see the big white chief touch down in his big white British taxpayer-funded bird."​

http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/04/london-mayor-boris-johnson-obama-brexit-160423063018186.html
"Some said it was a snub to Britain. Some said it was a symbol of the part-Kenyan President’s ancestral dislike of the British empire – of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender."​

When you got only Nigel Farage backing you in your corner...
Support for the mayor, however, came from UKIP party leader Nigel Farage, who also campaigns for UK to leave the EU. The far-right party leader said Obama should "butt out".

Accusing him of being the most anti-British American president in history, the far-right party leader told the Radio 4’s World at One programme: "I think Obama, because of his grandfather and Kenya and colonisation, I think Obama bears a bit of a grudge against this country."

As editor of the Spectator (2000), allowed this Taki piece to be published about blacks having lower IQs (later apologised in 2008):
http://archive.spectator.co.uk/article/4th-november-2000/78/high-life
"This might get me into hot water, but I've been there before. Race is more than skin deep, no ifs or buts about it. On average, Orientals are slower to mature, less randy, less fertile, and have larger brains and higher IQ scores. Blacks are at the other pole, and whites fall somewhere in the middle, although closer to the Orientals than the blacks."​
...
"Just look what the race hustlers did to The Bell Curve, a book that scientifically proved that blacks do have lower IQs than whites. It was Uncle Tom's Cabin in reverse. ► And speaking of victimhood, imagine if Prince Charles had married a black Diana. The white one already thought herself a victim. Oy veh, as Jewish victims tend to say. The feeling of victimhood must be the worse legacy liberal whites have left to blacks. It allows excuse after excuse for blacks to render themselves exempt from the rules and laws others have to follow. In America the problem of school drop-outs, pregnant teenagers, unemployment and abusive parenting is out of control. La Gavron should keep her mouth shut."​
 

To be a fly on the wall in a room where these two have a private conversation. I mean you'd know what to expect but hearing the train wreck in real time would just be... Awful.

And for America utterly depressing one of these men is a Presidential candidate. At least Farage isn't running our country, or has a chance to. He sadly just captured the hearts of many.

The only good thing to come from that photo is hopefully some Photoshop potential.
 
Maybe it is a British thing but using the word cunt is largely seen as a gender neutral insult here..

Just like "gay" is used as a sexuality-neutral insult here, as are a variety of other insults that imply feminine, foreign, or homosexual connections. The implication is invariably that it's only an insult because there's something negative about the association you should be ashamed of. The fact that a woman's genitals should be considered shameful, distasteful, or dirty isn't exactly flattering. These are existing negative messages that are simply being reinforced, whether or not you've given any thought to the connection.

Eh, its really not quite the same as gay being used as an insult. It would be more appropriate for comparing to be at calling someone a tit, obviously a female breast, or calling someone a dick, the male genatalia. Using either tit or dick is to describe someone who is purposefully being stupid or being unfair to someone. "You're such a tit for burning your dinner". "Don't be a dick to your friends".

The word cunt is just given the bogeyman status because its deemed to be the harshest curse word, not really because of the vagina link. I think partly because it sounds harsh to say the word. For some that is why they like curse words... The audible sound of saying them. Fuck is very strong sounding as well.

So while I think your heart and thoughts are in the right place I don't think the comparisons to gay being used as an insult is quite the same. Or more so the use of the word fag to insult someone, which is usually used in the same disgusting way as to call someone gay. The issues there are that the connotation is widely used to insult from the point of view to be homosexual is somehow wrong and that is why the use of such words as insults are largely abusive and largely frowned upon. Nearly everyone who calls someone a cunt is not doing it because it is a word for a vagina and that means to call someone a women is somehow an insult. They are using the word cunt as I said to start with because it is deemed the most offensive insult you can aim at someone in the English language.

I mean you probably won't hear the C word used more than in the UK, Scotland especially, where as I and another poster joked above it can be used as a term of endearment. I think I can largely speak for Scotland when I say misogyny really isn't as terrible an issue here as in some other countries. Above I pointed out at least politically we are doing it right with one of the worlds only 50/50 gender balanced government cabinets. Not to mention the leader of our country is female and is widely loved and respected.

Anyway for what it is worth I do find it a bit obnoxious when potty mouths can't be at least somewhat reserved in public. I mean I was brought up in a Christian household where it was believed swearing was a sin, and while I think that is stupid, personally I accept with cultural diversity and individual tolerance levels it is understandably going to be frowned upon if you travel on public transport or are in a restaurant and every second word out of your mouth is cursing. I don't behave like that and get annoyed when others do, but on a messageboard where everything is text, or when discussing really terrible individuals, I find it beneficial from time to time to display my distaste with strong language.

Male genitalia are also used as common insult; Prick. Knob. Dick.
It has the same connotation.

Cunt (and Twat) don't have the same misogynistic undertones or usage in British English as they do in American English.

Uh, wrong thread?

Cunt in the UK is generally used for men and doesn't hold the same misogynist connotations it does here.
 

Yeah well... not Liverpool and Newcastle, LOL.

There's been a few times where I have visited London and felt pretty lower class :P A fairly thick Glaswegian accent can sound rough at times even when you are being friendly. I guess it's part of the reason we can get away using an insulting word as a term of endearment... Because even if we used a kind, friendly word, we'd still sound like we were being aggressive! People therefore don't take it seriously.

The Irish are the same but for the opposite reason. They always sound friendly and warm! So they can use awful words and you just think *awwww*

Ahh. Stereotypes. Sometimes they end up being true.
 
Do people at a Trump rally in Mississippi even know what Brexit was about? Let alone the impact that vote had on the economy of the UK.

Cunt is unisex across the pond, it's like calling someone an asshole, a dick or a boob.
